There has been an exclusive Transformers: The Movie trailer posted over at Yahoo! Unfortunately, I can't get a big, clear viewing of it, but I'm going to keep trying! If anyone finds an easier way to view it, please PM me and let me know. Thanks!

This movie looks like it will either rock or suck. I'm personally hoping the first but the fact that it seems like there's a lot of human-based stuff sort of turns me off of the movie. Still, the transformers look quite cool in action so I'm nearly ready to take back my complaints on the designs of them. While they aren't like any of the actual transformers toys, they look quite good in the actual trailer.

Oh my!
I think I counted at least 12 kinds of coolness in that trailer.
I wish I had that remote from click so I could go on autopilot until the movie comes out. :\

I've come to accept that if they don't think something will translate well from a comic or cartoon to live action and they MUST change it, as long as they change it well, it's okay with me. The X-Men films for example, featured a total remake of their costumes, but it really never bothered me because they still seemed to have taken care to make them cool in a different way (I never really wanted to see Wolverine in spandex anyhow). As long as this isn't another cartoon to movie conversion like the live action "He-Man" movie, I might give it a chance...at very least till I've seen it...

I just got a much better view at it and I like what I see. There were many moments I was thinking "I can't wait to see this"!
The only problem I (still) have is that the Transformers don't look like the G1 toys. They're a little too "skeleton-like" for me, but I have a feeling I'll grow to like them.

The skeleton look kinda bothered me too. I do believe I will like the newer designs though.
I agree that I would like alot more robot on robot fighting action as opposed to tons of human elements. Lets just hope this doesn't go the route of Pearl Harbor and have a bunch of different stories that really don't tie into one another and leave you feeling you want to get your money back.

Well, I think that they effectively translated TF into movie form, but without making the movie only appeal to fans of the series. Also, kudos to the wardrobe department(and marketing, possibly) on having LeBeouf wear a Strokes T-shirt in much of the trailer.

No Lie! She just stands there and looks at it. My daughter would:
#1. Not be going outside when it was so dark by her self. #2. If she got outside and saw that, she would have ran inside and just about strangled me to death trying to show me. #3 Not be going outside when it was so dark by her self.

I'm with elephant, The seem to be treating the transformers more like Godzila . You how they do it. The Monster is just the backdrop to the soap opera about the human spirit. All though It's more realistic than the way people view them in the cartoons. "Oh! Hi 2 story tall killer tank thing, can i ride in you? Cool! Lets save the world together?" Isn't how most people would react. But the interaction between humans and the autobots is important. I wonder if the will play up the hole protect your natural resources, environmental thing that G1 had i it? Did other people catch that or was it just me.
